Answer:
Total discount = $39.50
or 46.47 %
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to figure out what she will pay for the shoes. She is getting 30 percent off the 65 dollars.
Discount = price * percent off
= 65*.3
= 19.50
The cost of her shoes is the price minus the discount.
Cost = 65- 19.5
= 45.50
To find the total discount, take the original price and subtract the final cost.
Total discount = 85-45.50
= 39.50
To find the total percent discount, we use the formula
total percent discount = (original - final)/original * 100
= (85- 45.50)/85 * 100
= 39.5/85*100
= 46.47%
Answer:
12 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the variable that can be used to determine the number of pens that Kamila bought be represented by n.
Price of a notebook = $1.59
Price a pen = $0.29
Total amount spent = $5.07
But,
1.59 + 0.29 n = 5.07
So that,
0.29 n = 5.07 - 1.59
0.29 n = 3.48
n = 
= 12
Therefore, Kamila bought 12 pens.
Then 70% of volcanos wouldn't be in California.
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
